...or, so says the July issue of Car & Driver. The magazine did a comparison test pitting the new Impala against a half dozen other 4 door cars of similar size and cost. In the narrative on the Impala they say, "...(it) steams along quietly and smoothly and looks like a four door Camaro." Hmmm..I went back and studied the pictures of the Impala and also saw them at our dealership, and can't find anything about the aesthetics of the Impala that comes anywhere close to the appearance of a Camaro. The closest thing to a Camaro is an eyebrow looking accent line over the rear wheels, that could remotely look Camaro-ish. The Impala has great stying but nothing like the Camaro.

Interesting, both C&D and Motor Trend tested the Impala against a group of cars in it's class and both gave it a second place finish. Motor Trend chose the Kia Cadenza to the first place spot and C&D chose the Toyota Avalon as the best in that comparo. Also, interesting is C&D placed the Cadenza 5th, quite a contrast to MT. I think Motor Trend gave Chevy another slap in the face by placing the Korean made car better than a GM product. I guess it proves the old adage: "different strokes for different folks".
